Forgot I'd run out of apricot last night and used peach instead. Either way, the fruit will dominate. Per the photo, I also used Boker's instead of Bogart's bitters. The sugar syrup seemed on point for me, but I did use Salers instead of Suze, the latter of which I feel is more sweet... Overall, it's not an interesting drink, but one that could be easily tweaked into a punch.

I made the cocktail with Dolin Genepy le Chamois instead of Suze and omitted the bitter. It went out a bit too sweet, but still very tasty, next time I would skip the sugar syrup.
